..~\**#@## viscous (but still pourable). it smells ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# slightly of eucalyptus, and has a #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## mostly bitter taste. ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## it's highly addictive, and possess ##@#**\~..

..~\**#@## the honey materializes in vaccuums ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# within any labyrinthine space. the more #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## folded and ambiguous, the faster it ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# emerges. the cavernous systems under #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## the desert of kirugu serves this ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# purpose very well - the lizards use #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## pumps to empty small boxes or jars of ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# air, which then are left overnight and #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## harvested the next day. ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## most spaces are somewhat mazelike, and ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# it's not uncommon for lizards in kirugu #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## veszelle city to keep a few jars (often ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# hanged from the ceiling in metal crowns #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## made for this purpose). however, these ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# may take weeks to fill. #@#**\~...

..~\**#@## the drug is used by the lizards in ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# these small (but often continuous) #@#**\~...

...~\**#@# somewhat but at the cost of a lessened #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## ability to multi-task - context ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# switching might take longer and be more #@#**\~...

..~\**#@## inner perceptions take the upper hand, ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# abstraction and memory faculties are #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## sharpened severely. slight telepathy ##@#**\~..

..~\**#@## normal stimuli, but able to override ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# their own senses with dreamlike #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## imagery. sharing of thoughts with other ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# eaters, mood reading of those who stay #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## sober (worth noting that the thoughts ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# are very fragmented and hard to #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## decipher, unless you are at a similar ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# level of spoons). at this point the #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## body is hard to move, and starts losing ##@#**\~..

..~\**#@## restable after coming down, often gone ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# for up to twenty four hours. at higher #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## doses it's hard to move, even if you ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# would remember drinking (which is also #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## made harder by the attention focusing ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# properties of the honey). #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# people are known to suffer injuries #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## from being still in unfavourable ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# climates for too long, sometimes to the #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## point of death. another danger is ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# actually locomotion of the body... #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## walking around is still somewhat ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# possible after losing sight, which have #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## lead to seveal falls. additionally, ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# robberies of the intoxicated are common. #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# lastly, albeit very rare, it's possible #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## to die of pure overdose (on the scale ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# of jars of honey) before being killed #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## by thirst. there are rumors that this ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# leaves "ghosts", who will still share #@#**\~...
..~\**#@## their thoughts long after their bodies ##@#**\~..
...~\**#@# are dead and gone. #@#**\~...
